A Turkish couple is a 1780 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man and woman standing side by side. The man wears a gray coat with gold trim, a tall red hat, and a sash around his waist. He holds a black walking stick. The woman has a bright orange skirt with gold borders and a patterned sash over her shoulder. Both are standing on a dark floor against a blue background. The woman’s jewelry includes large earrings and a necklace, while the man’s outfit looks formal, almost like a uniform. The artist’s signature, "A Turk," is written in the corner.
